Rescued silver aro-looks like it's been in a car wreck

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I am thinking about trying it again. The other silver that I did surgery on turned out pretty good! One eye is almost perfect and the other is just slightly drooped. I am thinking of adding a tiny dab of superglue to reconnect the tissue above the eye, as I'm assuming that the tissue would then hold the eye back in place. I had to cut that tissue to get to the fat mass, so it only makes sense to reconnect it. It will be a while before I try it again. This aro is doing really well though. It even had both barbells fully grown back until a week ago. I think it must have been spooked and knocked one off
 
The surgery was done by using clove oil as an anesthetic and then using tweezers and cuddicle scissors to pull out, cut and remove the fat buildup behind the eye.
 
Wow, just read through this thread. That aro owns it's life to you man. Great job getting it back to good health!
